- The risk
- A loose steering arm can result in a loss of vehicle steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the fasteners between the steering arm and steering knuckle, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 27, 2026.
